The only problem I have noticed is that the power adapter doesn't fit all the way into the port on the unit. It is rather loose and has some wiggle room. This makes me a little uncomfortable. Other than that, thumbs up so far. I do like how it has five ports on the back and then two on the front. I use the 5 ports for devices that I keep permanently connected that way I don't have to reach around to the back. Since I don't need portability, I have permanently attached it to my desk as it isn't quite heavy enough to combat the stiffness of USB cables. The fact that it can be placed vertically or horizontally is also a plus.

Since this device has a power plug, it will run most any USB device, or 7 at once. (although I do occasionally get errors from it)It is very lightweight, and is frequently pilled onto the floor from the weight of the cables....or it just tips over. The plugs are very close together, which is an issue card-reader devices and overly fat thumb drives.Strongly recommend mounting this thing to your table. A new version that is heavier and has more mounting options would be nice (so would making it metal)Overall, a good device, just a little clumsy to use.

The I.T. department recently changed out the computers in my department to smaller and more efficient pc's which meant less USB ports! So as a remedy I got one of these little gems. It is very compact and has a nice design with 2 ports in the front which I use as my "everything" ports for plugging in different things at different times. The back has 5 ports which I use for things that are plugged in and left for much longer. Overall I have no complaints and only good things to say. I recommend you get one and buy a second for a friend, they will only love you more for giving them such a great gift!!!

The product quickly downloaded drivers and was operational very quickly. Accessories seemed more responsive than they were when they were connected to a USB port from another firm. Even the registration was quick.

I really think this little dynamo is going to make my life so much easier. I had a little 4-port, but I quickly used that up in no time. Now, I am the proud owner of this 7-port USB connector and it is great. It comes with all the necessary wires and is very easy to install. I'm no techie, so I was relieved that it was so easy to use. I was up and running in no time at all. It took me longer to get it out of the packaging than it did to install it on my laptop and plug in all my devices with room to spare. Yeah!! I am so glad to have this "Nifty Gizmo" from TrippLite.com.

I purchased this to add extra usb ports to my new iMac desktop Computer. I was surprised just how small the footprint of this really was....it looked larger in the picture. I took it out of the box, plugged in the ac adapter and then into my computer and away we went. I was able to plug in printer, scanner, and 2 backup hdd's as well as well as charge my iPhone. Fantastic!!!! It doesn't get any easier than that unless tripp lite sends a techie to plug it in for me!!! Thank you.

Light weight. Removed from package, plugged in the AC power adapter my laptop recognized immediately. Connected USB cables to my devices with no problems, works very well. Has expandable capabilities should the need arise.

This is a very nice hub. I plugged it in, added my peripherals and everything was up and running. I only wish it had a bit more weight to its base so it would stay put on my desktop a little better. Not really a problem though. I really like the five ports out the back side. I don't need to see them as they are full of my equipment. Having two facing forward allows me to easily plug in a flash drive or another seldom used peripheral. I like this hub, and would purchase again.

Did some research and based on some independent reviews decided to purchase this Tripp-Lite USB hub in order to alleviate some USB issues on my machine ... worked exactly as advertised - even better. Very pleased with the design, construction and performance ... and the added bonus of surge protection ... highly recommend it to anyone looking for a USB hub ...

I purchased this product two days ago and it has saved me a great deal of time and effort. My workstation cpu doesn't have enough functioning ports, and this allows me to transfer documents to my student's usbs quickly with any headaches, this product is a lifesaver!!

Tried another product first. It was not powerful enough to mount my 4T external drive. I was hesitant on this one as it stated it was for PC not Mac. Glad I tried it, it was easy to set up and all the externals run faster. I am very happy with this project.

The U222-007-R 7 port hub is small, fits almost anywhere and looks great. When I did a search for best Hubs it came back as highest rated due to it's durability and that's what I want, something that will last a long time.

It also couldn't have been simpler to set up. I wish all devices were this well thought out. Count me a Tripp Lite fan!

I've owned quite a few USB hubs in my many years of using computers for business and home use. What I like about this one is the style: Its vertical and the cables fall inline one behind the other. Most of the ones I've had took up too much space and spread the cables in all kinds of directions.

I have been using the U222-007-R 7-Port USB2.0 Hub for quite some time and am impressed with the overall performance. However, the device "footprint" makes it very accessible and easy to place on the desk. Thanks for a great product.
